beyond BORDERS
with Mark Lloyd
Borders went bankrupt? So what. That doesn’t stop former employee Mark Lloyd from finding out what’s the next hottest read.
Lucky Bastard by S.G. Browne Nick Monday is a private investigator. It’s a pretty good name for a private investigator. He does all the normal private investigator jobs. He takes pictures of cheating spouses. He checks out insurance fraud. He finds people who owe money to super important people. He does all the normal stuff. But Nick Monday is anything but normal. See, Nick can steal people’s luck. That’s right, Nick is what is known as a “luck poacher.” With just a touch, Nick can take someone’s good luck, which can then be processed out of his body and sold on the black market. And good luck is almost like a drug. Once someone gets the feeling of good luck surging through their body, they’re sure to want more. With good luck in your system, you could have it all. You could have money, cars, women. You could have whatever you want. Then one day, a beautiful woman walks into
Nick’s office. Isn’t that how these things usually go? Her name is Tuesday Knight. Apparently someone stole her father’s luck at some point, and that thing about getting what you want if you have good luck flowing through your body has a flip side. If someone like Nick steals your luck, you’re sure to hit rock bottom without it. And now Tuesday Knight wants Nick to find out who stole her father’s luck and get it back. There’s only one problem with that. It was Nick who stole it. Throw in a crazy Chinese gangster who is trying to gather up all the luck he can, a government agent who looks like Barry Manilow, and another woman claiming to be Tuesday Knight and you’ve got yourself a good old fashioned, pulpy detective novel.
What to watch for in July Deep Future: The Next 100,000 Years of Life on Earth by Curt Stager
A Hologram for the King by Dave Eggers
Curt is taking a look at our future as a species on Earth and how the decisions we make this century could help to shape them. I’m going to skip straight to the chapter about flying cars and robots that rise up and enslave us.

album REVIEW
by Austin Kaus
Screaming Mechanical Brain – The Policy of Unilateral Hate You go to the store. The keyboard store. You buy a keyboard - it’s the logical purchase - and you return home. Headphones are for schmucks and your neighbors are terrible people...all FOX News and yapping dogs and dirty looks at the color of your slightly-thinning hair. So, you opt to plug the keyboard into your amp via distortion pedal. You pour an energy drink on your electric guitar, throw it on the keyboard and yell at it all until it starts on fire. You call it Screaming Mechanical Brain. That’ll show the neighbors. Don’t let the description fool you; this Minneapolis electro-rage-pop group is more organized than an instrument on fire, but it burns just as hot. They call themselves “brutal satanic electro metal.” Brutal? Absolutely. The instrumentation seems specifically designed to widen your neck. Electro metal? Yep. They sway over the fine line between “fresh thump muffin” and “tired spiky soufflé,” swinging back and forth like a corpse that’s more interesting when he’s not stone dead. Satanic? Meh. Calling the world an abomination and predicting the fall of the universe (“Policy of Unilateral Hate”) isn’t necessarily paying tribute to the Dark
Lord. It could just be commentary on Nickelback. SMB songs work best when they either narrow their focus on a specific sonic assault plan (“Imaginary Problems” is speed metal poking holes in a synth waterbed) or allow their pop sensibilities to move our feet without smearing the makeup (“A Series of Numbers” or “Conspiracy”). When the vocals channel screamo that bored me when “The Wire” was still on the air, I tend to lose focus. Thankfully, the vocals rotate styles enough that the drifting is temporary. I have soft spots in my ears for Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk), so channelling him is a good way to bring my attention back to the record. The Pattonesque spirit works wonders on the crooned portions of the album’s opening track, “Salt the Earth,” but falls short on the verses on “We Are Being Lied To.” It’s hell trying to be a deity. SMB clearly considers themselves to be mad scientists with just enough facepaint to keep the townsfolk at bay, at one point proclaiming “If there is a god, we are his greatest failure/ Omnipotent Frankenstien, building a cosmic horror” on the sci-fi journey that is “How We Became a Monster.” With “The Policy of Unilateral Hate,” SMB is not breaking enough new ground here to create a completely new creature, but they still sew together enough appendages of genre to make a monster worth chasing with a torch. The album is available on iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp.

Also listening to: Future of the Left The Plot Against Common Sense
Joey Cape and Tony Sly Acoustic Volume 2
Doug Benson Smug Life
As he always has, Andy “Falco” Falkous leads FOTL with switchblade-sharp lyrics and genuine guitar force that tear apart pop culture with a focus not seen in previous offerings.
The respective frontmen for Lagwagon and No Use For A Name offer up another round of acoustic takes on their band’s old songs and include a new track each as a chaser. I don’t know how the Hot Topic crowd will take it, but those who think their beard hairs are blonde instead of gray will get good and drunk on this jug of nostalgia.
Comedy’s head stoner uses this double album as an experiment: one show is “uncooked” (sober) while the second disc is “cooked” (stoned as hell). Which is better? You decide. Both convey his genial resin-sticky humor and ensure that the name “Richard Skipper” will be in my lexicon forever.
Favorite tracks: “Beneath the Waves of an Ocean,” “Sorry Dad, I Was Late for the Riots,” “Robocop 4 - F**k Off Robocop.”
Favorite tracks: “I Must Be Hateful,” “Know It All,” “Soulmate,” “Chasing Rainbows,” “Liver Let Die.” 18 | July 2012
Favorite tracks: “Richard Skipper,” “Scrambled Eggs.”
way too indie your sister’s sister
Having liked Lynn Shelton’s previous feature, “Humpday,” I was anxious to see if she could duplicate her efforts in “Your Sister’s Sister.” I will tell you right now, she does just that and then some. Shelton’s greatest achievement here is taking simple conventional situations and making them into complex and extraordinary without sacrificing believability. It is something that is commonly tried but rarely achieved, at least to the degree it was here. Friends gather around having drinks and sharing stories about their friend Tom who passed away a year ago. We never actually meet Tom in the film, but from hearing some of the stories it leads you believe he was a nice and likeable guy. That is until his brother Jack (Mark Duplass) gets up and tells the group the side he knows of him, which is a physically and mentally manipulative person. Jack has a typical brother assessment, but in a completely inappropriate time and place to express it. Needless to say the crowded room fell awkwardly silent.
Luckily for Jack, he has a close friend who is keeping an eye on him. Her name is Iris (Emily Blunt), and at one point she dated his brother, Tom. She tells him that for a year now he has been a mess and that he needs to change his current destructive ways. In order to achieve this, she comes up with a plan to send him off to her dad’s remote cabin that is located on a peaceful island. This cabin has no television or Internet, a perfect scenario for Jack not to get distracted and allow him to think about his life, simply watching the waves in the water that surrounds the cabin. At least that was the plan. But as we all know, life often does not go according to plan, especially in films. When he arrives at the cabin, he approaches the front door only to see that there is someone already there. Not sure what to do, he peers through the window until he makes himself noticed by making a sound. As the woman comes charging out the cabin with an ore in her hand, he notices that it is just Iris’s sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt). The two did not start out on a good note, but eventually make amends when they find themselves sharing a bottle of tequila around the table at 3 a.m. Hannah divulges that she has just got out of a seven year relationship with a female partner. Jack explains how he has had a rough year and came to the cabin for solitude. Several shots later, a proposition from Jack arises for the two to hookup, even though she is a lesbian. We are not sure if it was the tequila or the intention to let go by trying
something different, but she accepts. For me, one of the best qualities a film can possess is for it to come off as genuine. Do not get me wrong, I adore the weird, crazy, “out-there” films just as much, but when a film can accurately replicate that awkward moment when someone prepares food for you and you must lie to them by saying it is wonderful because they were so excited for you to try it, it is extraordinary. I was shocked at how well the dialogue was, considering it was largely improvised. By definition it is a mumblecore film, but for those of you who are turned off by that “genre” do not worry. While the film still captures raw emotions in the moment with everyday dialog, it never feels like it rambles on for too long. It feels loose, but not too loose. I guess you could call it Mumblecore 2.0, but the bottom line is that it worked well. I will admit that if you read just the synopsis of “Your Sister’s Sister” you will most likely think a typical sitcom is in store. Instead, the film is more of an intelligent romantic comedy featuring terrific characters in a very honest manner. It is an excellent example of how wonderful improvisational dialogue can be when you have the right cast members and director. To cap it all off, instead of opting for a safe ending Shelton gives us an ending that fit perfectly with the rest of the film.

Take This Waltz “Take This Waltz” lays out more like a fantasy than the traditional romantic comedy it is based upon. This sophomore feature from director Sarah Polley contains an outcome that leaves you with something to chew on, but its attempts in quirkiness results only in awkwardness. It brilliantly showed how the grass is not as green as you may think, but in that big achievement it tripped on small things along the way. Dustin Jansick Read full review: tooin.de/7a
Headhunters When a corporate headhunter (who moonlights as an art thief to support his gaudy lifestyle) decides to steal a rare piece of art worth millions from his new client, he is forced to run for his life when it turns out the client is a former mercenary. “Headhunters” is almost unbelievable at times, but the film is almost never boring, and when you’re watching a thriller isn’t that the point? Blake Ginithan Read full review: tooin.de/7b

out of 10
Polisse Unfortunately, the director decides to end things with a big character moment that’s more laughable than profound. When “Polisse” sticks to its realistic fly-on-the-wall approach to the Child Protection Unit, it’s some of the best filmmaking from this year. But its poor attempts to make the film more of a character piece hold it back from being truly great.

profiles IN SOUND 2012 JazzFest Keeps it in the Family July 26-28 | Yankton Trail park Free by Carl Anthony JazzFest returns to Sioux Falls, Thursday, July 26 through Saturday, July 28 for the annual weekend celebration of jazz, blues, rock and any combination of the three. Two stages decorate Yankton Trail Park, displaying homegrown musicians alongside national artists like Robert Randolph and the Family Band and Joe Walsh. Although they outdo themselves each year, the Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Society maintains free admission in an effort to share the wealth of talent. And with the showing of so many musical styles and thousands passing through, a humble father and son desire to entertain all those faces in the crowd that average 85,000 a year. “I don’t play at the bar anymore because that is a young man’s thing,” joked Rich Show, 55. “I may be drenching wet with sweat from the heat out at JazzFest, but it’s always fun to play those big stages.” Rich, who describes himself as a “music dabbler,” has made waves in a multitude of South Dakota-based bands over the years, including Violet, Flag With Hank, No Direction and The Working Poor, the latter of which catches most of his attention. The Working Poor began as a side project during Violet and is now rebranded to Rich Show and the Working Poor. “We are a four-piece playing rock and roll, and that’s the easiest way to explain us,” said Rich, who will appear with his other three buddies on Friday night on the second stage. Rich’s son, Isaac, 25, has followed in his footsteps, surrounded with music daily and is eager to talk about it. From seven years and counting at Ernie
22 | July 2012
November to his involvement in We All Have Hooks for Hands, Isaac’s latest pursuits fall under the Later Babes moniker; a combination of We All Have Hooks for Hands and Soulcrate Music. “Later Babes has been a pleasant surprise,” said Isaac, the group’s keyboard player. “We have really exceeded all of our expectations.” Later Babes will take the second stage on Saturday night, just after Phantom Balance, who Isaac openly admires. With JazzFest being a free show, Later Babes will fit right in, being their mentality is to distribute
as much music as possible without a price tag. Isaac routinely gives out the group’s current album, “Lisa,” and fans can enjoy a free download from the website, laterbabes.bandcamp.com. “I don’t want to profit off the people who support us,” said Isaac. “I would rather they come to our show and have a good time than make money.“ Rich shares the sentiments of his son and hopes his performance at JazzFest will help him reconnect with longtime followers. For Isaac, JazzFest will provide an opportunity for people unfamiliar with Later Babes
to see them for the first time. Regardless of the number of fans, both Rich and Isaac live for the music they make. “I’m slowing down and I don’t play as much anymore, but I will keep writing music because I love that creative process,” said Rich. “I not only play, but I scour the Internet and the record stores eager to find something new and interesting because I simply love music.” “My friends and I never stop talking about music,” said Isaac. “No matter how many times we hang out, it always has something to do with it.” JazzFest is a destination of sorts for both Rich and Isaac. For the younger, it is a chance to carve out a niche for the newly formed Later Babes and embrace the energetic voice found in their work. For the elder, it is a chance to relive fond memories as a musician while glancing at the growing legacy he leaves behind. “I am proud of these kids,” said Rich. “I love them all for sticking with it.” For more info on this year’s JazzFest, check out their Facebook page or visit www.

10 Things With Bo$$ Regi$
Photos by Dan Thorson
by Carl Anthony
Hip-hop is a universal language; one uniting colors and creeds in a common bond of respect. Boss Regis, 26, believes it’s not about flashy cars or stacks of money, and it’s why he serves as a hip-hop ambassador, reaching out in
an effort to share its worldly principles. Here are the top ten mustknow things about Regis: #10 – The Basics Son of Haitian immigrants, Regis grew up in a rigid household where hip-hop was not allowed. His parents regularly monitored his television intake, and channels like MTV and BET were strictly prohibited and were labeled as “garbage” by his father. Living in both New York and Connecticut with poverty surrounding him, Regis invested his time in writing lyrics and holding freestyle sessions on the playground in middle school. Despite an uphill battle that would encompass his youth, Regis landed a football scholarship to South Dakota State University and found himself at home in South Dakota, where another passion took hold. #9 – The Radio Star During his time on KSDJ in Brookings, Regis gained a following as the hip-hip DJ. When inquiries would flood the request lines, Regis spun more hip-hop, even playing a song or two of his own for good measure. Regis is a passionate man with everything from music to sports, but he will always go back to radio. “I love the radio first and foremost,” said Regis. # 8 – The Admirer Stemming from radio, Regis followed Howard Stern, and for his music he emulated perpetual songwriters like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton. Regis, although, truly emulates the 605magazine.com | 23
profiles IN SOUND ones closer to home - his best friend Jay Lava and his cousin Reggie, the latter of which was the “biggest dude around.” “Jay Lava was the original black Elvis,” said Regis, recalling Lava’s welldefined dreadlocks and larger than life personality. While Lava helped mentor Regis as an artist, it was “cousin Reggie” who first introduced him to the hip-hop genre. Despite the confines of the household, Regis would often borrow Reggie’s music and listen to it when he would come home from school. “He had all the best CD’s from Tupac and Biggie to Wu-Tang,” remembered Regis # 7 – The Writer While cousin Reggie’s CD collection was playing in his ears, Regis began to wonder about his own lyrical writing ability, especially since he excelled in literature and English composition. “I knew I could write lyrics like that,“ said Regis. “Once I found something to write about, that is what I did all day, every day, from middle school to high school.” #6 – The Rapper Believing many MC’s go in a nega-
tive direction, Regis counters with heart and soul, making music capable of reaching multiple generations. The lyrics from his time on the school yard now live on and inspire others. “I always want to be that voice,” said Regis. “There are many people who can’t get that in the world today and hip-hop is for those who have no voice.” #5 – The Bridge Builder Active on the music scenes in New York, Connecticut and here in South Dakota, Regis is constructing a nationwide network of artists, allowing them fan bases in multiple states. “I believe artists can find second and even third homes in other states,” said Regis. “If artists can work together like this, we can have strength in numbers and bridge the scenes together for more opportunities.” #4 – The Authentic Mentor In working to create those molds and build those bridges for other artists, Regis has gained a wealth of applicable knowledge. “All artists need live shows, so they should try and get as many as
possible,” said Regis. “You can have the best songs in the world, but if you don’t play live, nobody will know who you are.” #3 – The Aspiring Coach Just ask and Regis will detail the story behind his NFL tattoo. He will share his love of music and sports and how they both make the world better. Looking back on his difficult childhood, Regis knows we all must guide the youth with positive ideals. “Sports, just like music, is an escape to a better future and so many kids are growing up, neglected, without a father figure,” said Regis. “Someday, I would like to get my coaching endorsement and mentor a football team and guide them towards some type of future.” #2 – His Own Potential “I grew up in the hood and in the slums but I wasn’t out with all the knuckleheads and turning into a criminal,” said Regis. “I always knew I had a brighter future.” #1 – The Investor of Dreams “Money does not cure problems,” said Regis. “Follow your dream and let that be your source of happiness, and no matter what, never ever quit.” Don’t miss the Iconic Tour July 21 at the Phoenix Lounge at 8 p.m. for $7.

creative WRITING About the author: Megan Eggers has live in Sioux Falls for nine years. She is happily married and has one son. She enjoys writing romantic fiction with a science fiction edge.
Timeless Irony
Tessa stared at the hand in her own. Even though he was weakened, his hands seemed to hold the full power of life. Regret flooded through her. Regret at the loss of their future. Regret that she couldn’t do anything to stop this even though she held time in her hands. Tess could travel through space and time as a Keeper, protecting the sacred past, but she couldn’t stop this man, her heart, from dying. His own stubbornness was killing him and her hopes that there was a way to save him had just been dashed. Luke whispered her name and she looked up, seeing those same regrets swimming in his eyes. “Don’t be sad, Tess. It is meant to be this way.” “I don’t care what happens to me, I can’t lose you. I just found you.” Tears filled her eyes and spilled over onto her cheeks. She hated seeing him hooked to these machines. The lack of technology in 1954 concerned her and she was sure he would survive this had they been in her time. Adjusting the oxygen tube in his nose, Luke sighed. “Tess, please don’t cry. You know why you can’t save me. You’d become the very thing you hunt and we’d run forever. I couldn’t choose that for you.” “You’re not, I’m choosing it for me. All you have to do is say you’ll be a Keeper and you’ll live, you’ll be healed by the gods. Or I can go back and stop you from getting hit by that car. Either way we can be together, I don’t care about the consequences.” Leaning forward, she gently smoothed the oxygen tube behind his ear and then reclaimed his hand. “No, Tess, you’ll become a Corruptor. What kind of life would I be able to give you if we’re running from your friends and family? We can’t turn ourselves in because they’d just tear us apart. I won’t make you an outlaw and then lose you.” He tugged the hand she was holding free and caressed her cheek. “I know we’ve only known each other less than a week, but I feel like we’re soul mates. If that’s true, then I believe that someday we’ll be together, but not now. I have to die here, in 1954.” Tess pressed his hand to her face and let her tears fall. She understood why he wouldn’t let her change this. She was a Keeper and their laws stated that you can’t change the past. If she saved his life now they’d both become outlaws. Though she’d do it in a heartbeat, she didn’t want to put her family through it. Her family and friends were Keepers and they’d be forced to hunt them. “Alright, Luke, I give. I want us to enjoy these last few hours together.” She looked at him lying helpless in the hospital bed, knowing he wouldn’t 26 | July 2012

make it until morning. “Well, as much as we can enjoy them anyway. Tell me why you chose not to be a Keeper when you turned twenty-one?” In a Keeper family, the children can decide whether they want to become Keepers on their twentyfirst birthday. Most choose to join, but some don’t. Luke looked out the window of the small hospital room, “I turned twenty-one in 1945, right at the end of World War II. I enlisted as soon as I turned seventeen and after everything I saw, I didn’t want to watch humanity do that to itself over and over forever. I wanted to live a peaceful, normal life. I knew from watching my parents that my life would be anything but quiet. I lost count of how many times they came home covered in blood.” He looked back at her, a small smile on his face. “If things had turned out any different, I would’ve chosen to stay with you.” Her eyes filled again and she didn’t care. “I know.” Leaning her head on his chest, she let out her sorrow. She’d come back to 1954 following a Corruptor and had asked for Luke’s help. In the short time they’d been searching for, and catching the Corruptor, they’d fallen for each other. Then in the few seconds she’d been gone taking the Corruptor back to 2012, Luke had managed to get hit by a car. Tess had been alive several centuries and had traveled to almost every time period, but it never failed to amaze her how quickly things could change. She’d fallen in love for the first time and now she was going to lose that love. Luke fell asleep, his hand going slack in hers. Tess never moved from his side. Nurses tried to convince her to go home, but she waved their concerns away. She had no home here, nowhere to go. When she sensed the end was near, she leaned forward, putting her lips close to his ear. “I’ll love you forever. We’ll be together again.” She was confident she’d recognize his soul, no matter his physical appearance, and she would search for him tirelessly. As the sun rose, Luke took his final breath. She cried for him, for her broken heart. Even with all of the pain and sadness she felt, she wouldn’t go back and change one second.

a taste of SARCASM Tazito Burrito
with Polly Dean
“I am not a glutton-I am an explorer of food.” -Emma Bombeck
Mexican culture brings so many amazing things.1 In fact you may not even know some things go back to Mexican culture, yet you have something to do with these things on a daily basis. Did you know that chocolate originated in Mexico and was prized by the Aztecs?2 Aside from all of that, there is, of course, the cuisine. Burritos, enchiladas and tamales, oh my.3 Beans, meats, chilies, peppers, maize...are you salivating yet? Before you hit up the Taco Bell drive-through on the way home, check out Tazito Burrito, new to Sioux Falls. Tazito Burrito is located on Russell Avenue, just north of the Arena and Convention Center. Formerly housing Mr. Goodcents and A Taste of India, the owners are hoping to thrive on the upcoming Events Center crowds. In a recent interview with “The Sioux Falls Business Journal,” the owner calls himself “the first brave entrepreneur to take a chance on the Events Center area.4” Upon entering Tazito Burrito, you’ll notice the atmosphere is extremely relaxed and casual.5 Tables and booths surround the somewhat cafeteria-like ordering station. I ate in twice and called an order in as well. Both were extremely efficient, and if Tazito Burrito has one thing amazing going for them, it’s their customer service. Every time I was in, the staff was more than accommodating with questions, suggestions and explanations. When I called in to place an order for pick-up, the employee was loud enough to hear, understood everything I said, and even got my name right.6 Now let’s not beat around the bush - how was the food? If you remember anything from this article, remember this: You will find something that sounds good at Tazito. I can almost guarantee it. They have everything from cold turkey wraps to grilled steak burritos, tuna salad salads and sweet chili bowls. Literally, almost anything you’re craving is here.7 It was so painstakingly hard for me to make a decision every time. They offer so many different takes on a burrito that it can be a bit overwhelming. With choices like the Big Fat Greek Burrito, Chicken Cordon Blue, Cuban Reuben Burrito, and the Moroccan Burrito, you can get lost in tortilla

heaven.8 With most entrees you also get warm chips and salsa as a side and, though it’s delicious, save room. Don’t want a tortilla? They have fresh salads, nachos, and rice bowls. Rice bowls were something that I had never experienced before. Being a burrito lover, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. You can get flavors like a sweet chili bowl, a Korean bowl, a Big Texas bowl, a Tokyo bowl, and many more.9 All are served with rice, an assortment of coordinating veggies, toppings, meats, and sauces. The Big Texas bowl, for example, is chicken, stir-fry veggies, bleu cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, and rice. Some ingredients that you wouldn’t normally put together, right? But, Tazito Burrito seems to thrive on the unexpected. A variety of desserts and sides are served up as well.10 Traditional cookies and brownies are available, but there are also some specialty desserts and sides served.11 The only thing I can say that Tazito Burrito was missing? A margarita.12 Warm chips and salsa accompanied by a gigantic burrito can only call for one more thing: Mexico’s national alcoholic beverage.13
In a part of town where restaurants are a bit scarce and entertainment is just now being developed, Tazito Burrito has certainly taken a risk. Restaurants have tried this space before and it hasn’t worked out, but I have a good feeling about Tazito Burrito. The casual atmosphere mixed with the eclectic menu14 could make them one of the first restaurants to capitalize on the future Events Center and pave the way for future restaurants and businesses to this part of our city that could use some more excitement.
Final Grade Atmosphere 3 / 5 The restaurant has only been opened a week, so I understand looking a little...bland. The colors are great and warm, but more excitement is needed! The tables seemed a bit disheveled when I was there and lacked a bit in design. What they lack in excitement in decor they do make up for in customer service. Like I stated before, they are extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. This goes a LONG way with me. Service 5 / 5 I mentioned it above in atmosphere, but the service here is amazing. You can tell when you walk into a restaurant if the owner(s) live and breathe their restaurant. Their employees feed off of their passion for the business and in turn; love to help it grow. No question is a silly question at Tazito burrito. If you don’t know what Greeko Salata is, by all means ASK! FOOD 4 / 5 Great tastes. Amazing flavor combinations. Eclectic menu items. They really have a great menu plan going for them. Any place you can go that offers that many salad options AND burrito options is a winner in my book. I only give a 4 because I personally think some of the flavors could use a little tweaking. The Chicken Cordon Bleu burrito did not live up to my expectations, and felt it lacked a great “wow factor” in its taste. Though when I had a bite of my Big Fat Greek burrito I was wowed. [1] For example: did you know that tequila is Mexico’s national alcoholic beverage? You probably learned it some night while drinking the stuff but it was “a little fuzzy.” [2] Well, now you do. You’re welcome. [3] And TUMS… [4] Has he not heard of a little place called Casa Del Rey? [5] Maybe that’s just compared to other Mexican restaurants adorned with gigantic sombreros and colorful ponchos on the walls. [6] I didn’t even have to say, “Pick up order for Holly...or Molly...or Dolly...” Whatever ends in ‘olly besides my actual name.” [7] Except margaritas...which was sort of a bummer. [8] Tortilla heaven, I might add, comes in plain flour, spinach and tomato herb. All are delicious flavors of heaven. [9] Confused as to what each of those ethnic foods consist of? So was I...check out their website. They list all the ingredients there. Just when you think you know what would be an ingredient in a dish, you could be surprised. [10] There is more than just fried ice cream. Whaaaa?! [11] What on earth is Baklava? I passed.

[12] This should be illegal in a Mexican restaurant. [13] I know I’m going on about this, but it’s just not right. [14] Where else is someone going to make me a burrito with banana peppers and feta cheese?!

delish DELIGHTS
Original Recipe by Amanda Day of Pomegranate Market
We’ve all had traditional lemon bars - sweet, tart and so-very familiar. This season, though, try something new! Nothing screams summer like succulent, perfectly ripe blueberries...with limeade! These refreshingly delightful Blueberry Limeade bars have the zesty tang of lime balanced with a subtly sweet blueberry finish. Combine this perfect pair with a lemon zest sugar cookie crust and you have the ultimate 4th of July treat! Not only that, but blueberries are packed with antioxidants to keep you looking and feeling your best all summer long!
Blueberry Limeade Bars: For the crust: - 3 Egg whites Ingredients: - 9 Tbsp organic butter, room temperature - 1/4 Cup organic sugar - Zest of one organic lemon - 1/2 of one vanilla bean, seeds scraped into dough - 1 Egg yolk - 1 Cup flour - Pinch of salt
Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Cream together the butter, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla bean, then add the egg yolk until just combined. 3. Add the flour and salt and combine until a dough forms. 4. Press the dough into the base of a glass, 8x8 inch baking dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the crust is very slightly golden brown. While the dough bakes, prepare the filling!

For the filling: Ingredients: - 2 Heaping cups organic blueberries - 3/4 Cup organic sugar - 1/2 of one vanilla bean, seeds scraped into blueberry mixture - 2/3 Cup fresh, organic lime juice (about 4 limes) - Zest of one organic lime
- 1 Egg 2/3 Cup flour - Pinch of salt
Instructions: 1. In a small sauce pan, combine the blueberries, sugar, vanilla bean and about half of the lime juice and allow to simmer over low heat until the berries turn dark purple and start to burst. Stir regularly. 2. Remove the berry mixture form the heat, transfer to a clean bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. 3. Once cooled, add the remaining lime juice, eggs, flour and salt and whisk together until well combined (this will be quite a liquidy mixture, but will firm up when baked) Gently pour the berry mixture over the baked cookie and place back in the oven (350 degrees) and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
**You will know the bars are done when a paring knife inserted into the center of the bars comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool to room temperature, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for about four hours before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar, fresh blueberries and lime zest.

get involved Chip in for Children Golf Benefit
by Lisa Peterson
What could be better than spending a beautiful morning in July on the golf course? How about knowing that your morning of golf is helping benefit children in your community. The Sioux Falls YWCA’s 18th annual golf benefit, Chip in for Children, will kick off at 8:30 a.m., Friday, July 27 at Elmwood Golf Course, located off Russell Street and Kiwanis Avenue. The 18-hole, four-person scramble is open to men, women and youth golfers and will benefit the YWCA Sioux Falls youth programs and services. “Proceeds help support about 3,000 youth through our programs such as Girls on the Run and Girls on Track, our volleyball leagues, babysitting classes, swim lessons and summer camps,” said Catherine Forsch, YWCA Director of Development and Marketing, YWCA Sioux Falls. “Sixty-eight percent of Girls on the Run participants request scholarship funding to be able to participate in our program. One of the biggest things about the event on the sponsorship level is you are helping a child to participate in a
32 | July 2012
program. So if you are a $1,000 sponsor, you’re helping to send 11 kids to camp, or 11 kids participate in the Girls on the Run program.” Karen Dunham has played in the Chip in for Children Golf Benefit for more than five years and plans to play again this year. “We normally have our own team and I enjoy playing Elmwood, and I like the fact that it’s for a good cause,” said Dunham. “It’s a very well run tournament, and the YWCA staff and volunteers do a wonderful job.” Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m., and the shot-gun start will be at 8:30 a.m. Lunch and awards will immediately follow the tournament. Players will also have the chance to win other prizes. “Each sponsored hole has a challenge like the longest drive, longest putt, and closest to the water without going in,” said Forsch. “The company that sponsors the hole pro-
Small town flair in the middle of the big city
vides a prize for both the top female and top male for each challenge hole.” Some of this year’s sponsors include First Premier Bank, Avera Health Plans, First Bank & Trust, Home Federal, Howalt McDowell Insurance, Howe Plumbing & Heating, Lloyd Companies, Raven Industries, Siouxland Oral Maxillofacial Associates and Sturdevant’s Auto Parts. Spots are still available for teams of four and individual player registrations. Team registration is $400 and includes a light breakfast, cart rental, green fees, and lunch at the end of the scramble. Individuals can register for the same benefits at $125 and will be placed on a four-person team. “We have beginning golfers and golfers that golf once a year in a Texas scramble tournament to people who golf on a regular basis,” said Forsch. “We see a lot of teams come out with co-workers, we see husband and wife teams, and fathers bringing their sons or daughters to play. It’s a fun event for a good cause.” For more information, to volunteer, or to register as an individual, team or sponsor, visit www.ywca-sf.org or call Erin Bosch at (605) 336-3660 or e-mail ebosch@ywca-sf.org.

The Good Earth Images by Jeff Sampson Photography
by Taylor Reaves
36 | July 2012
I
n the years long prior to what most might imagine, one author began to observe the erosion of the traditional values in society under the influence of wealth. He wrote of the modernization and changing nature of a culture that led a farmer who had a developed a deep relationship with the earth based on the productions of his own labor, into the lifestyle of a family estranged from the earth, gaining their wealth from the harvests of hired help. However, Pearl S. Buck, author of “The Good Earth,” could not have imagined that his award-winning novel published in 1931 would be the inspiration of a local natural farm in 2012, so much so that upon arriving, visitors are greeted by none other than the farmer’s dog, “Buck.” What began as a yearlong sailing adventure for Jeff and Nancy Kirstein has evolved into a lifestyle benefiting the lives of many within Sioux Falls and its surrounding areas. In a search for the peacefulness and sense of community experienced within their time spent abroad in places like Mexico, like the ability to purchase fresh produce daily, and the newfound perspective that they both had gained from reading Buck’s bestselling
novel, the couple relocated from their previous residence in Sioux Falls to a vegetable farm located just south of Lennox. Dubbed The Good Earth, the area currently serves as a natural farm consisting of 26 acres of pastures, creek and farmland. “We thought for a long time about what we could do, because we wanted something without negatives associated with it,” said Jeff. “We chose this business because it doesn’t hurt anyone. We sell good food to good people. It’s an honest way of living.” The Good Earth serves as a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm, an upcoming trend for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. As the farmers, the Kirsteins offer a certain number of “shares” to the public, which allows interested consumers to purchase a share, much like a membership, and in return receive a division of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. “We are selling our produce through a CSA because it will create that community that we are looking for. The consumer will have the benefit of knowing where their food is grown and the people who grow it,”
said Nancy. “We get to work trying to maximize their return by growing as much healthy, delicious food as we can.” As shareholders, the customers share in the risk and the reward of the harvest from the farm, entertaining the possibility of a faulty lettuce crop or 50 pounds a week of tomatoes—a new definition of gamble. And while everyone shares in the hopes of a long summer season (15 weeks to be specific), extraneous heat waves or an unexpected hail or frost can leave the benefits of the pre-paid engagement and the work of the farmers at a greater loss than most. However, as the Kirsteins and their sharecroppers see it, the risk-reward relationship is often overlooked alongside the personal relationships that develop at The Good Earth. “What we experience is much more social than selling groceries,” said Jeff. “We’re able to form personal relationships with the families. The kids can see where their food comes from, help us weed, pet a cow, pitch a tent, walk down to the creek to read a book. After all, it’s their farm too.” The Kirsteins remain committed to staying fair with their shareholders,
38 | July 2012
giving them the cream of the crop in 100 percent of the produce that is harvested. Unlike the farmers markets that require an upcharge on produce, and therefore, force the farmers to discard the blemished produce to only leave space for the most prime (leaving them to make a living off of only 25 percent of their total harvest), the Kirsteins are able to provide their sharecroppers with both quality and quantity. “We’re here to see that our families get the most food for their dollar,” said Jeff, “because good food doesn’t have to be expensive.” This summer, the Kirsteins expect to provide the families with 190 varieties of chemical-free grown fruits, vegetables and herbs that are delivered to a central drop-off in Sioux Falls at The Great Outdoor Store downtown, as well as home delivery for an additional $50 in the share packages. These packages are separated between full shares and half shares recommended according to vegetarian preferences and family size, with a full share receiving an expected average of 400 pounds of produce this season consisting of varieties of tomatoes, peppers, onions, potatoes, carrots, beans, beets, squash, corn, pumpkins, lettuce, cabbage, rutabaga, parsnip, melons, peas, radishes, and more. “It’s like Christmas every Wednesday morning at our house. I get up, go out my side door, and I have fresh vegetables waiting for me,” said Ann Metli, a sharecropper in The Good Earth. “We get to decide what we’re going to do or what we’re going to make with them. Not only do I like that I’m feeding my family vegetables that are grown chemical-free, but surprisingly, they taste a lot better. There actually is a difference.” And while the Kirsteins cannot be a part of the rural Chinese life of the early 1900’s described in the novel that inspires them, they have seen the occurrence of their own intercultural practices. The Kirsteins are currently hosts to two foreign
exchange student workers, one from the Ukraine and the other from Ecuador, looking to gain learning experience on a farm with the help of recently attained horticultural farming degrees. “I came to Jeff and Nancy to learn how these things are done at their farm, and since I’ve been here I have never regretted my decision,” said Anastasia, whose family owns a farm in the Ukraine. In the same sense, The Good Earth is working with Lutheran Social Services in order to help diversify local agriculture. Beginning this summer, the Kirsteins are planning to sublet a part of their unused land to Burmese refugees who are looking to farm in South Dakota. In this process commonly known as “land-linking,” the farmers will share their land, seeds, equipment, and farming techniques with the Burmese refugees in order for them to sell the produce that they harvest, which will allow the refugees to earn a profit to be used in purchasing land of their own. “Farming is hard to do around here. Either the land is far too expensive or something will come up that is hardly farmable,” said Jeff. “Our goal is that next year we can bring in other refugees to keep the cycle moving.” On the other hand, those visiting The Good Earth might also come across a visiting farmer on his voyage to a grape orchard in Tuscany or a potato field in Ireland, based on a worldwide organization that the Kirsteins have recently joined. Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) is a worldwide network of organizations that links volunteers with organic farmers, such as the Kirsteins, to help people share in more
sustainable ways of living. In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodations and opportunities for people to learn about their organic lifestyles. Whether it’s for two weeks or two hours, The Good Earth farm is happy to be called a “home.” “We get to go out to farm whenever we want, because Jeff and Nancy are always very welcoming,”

said Metli. “Whether the kids can help with weeding or bond with chickens, it’s really great for them to watch how their food grows and to be part in a CPA.” “The Good Earth is more than just a farm. It’s a place to come to get away from your cell phone, your computer, your desk, and experience the simplicity of rural living – even if it’s just for an afternoon,” said Nancy. “It’s
not necessarily about being organic. It’s about buying food from South Dakota. It’s about people giving back to their community that they live in, because part of creating a community that’s a little more sustainable is buying what you can locally. In doing so, you’re giving much more back.” To find out more about The Good Earth, visit www.TheGoodEarth.us.
You will meet some interesting characters at The Good Earth. Meet... T-Bone
The miniature bull was a very naughty addition to the farm until he got his fellow short friend, T-Rex.
T-Rex
When T-Bone’s future looked bleak at the farm due to his temper, Nancy and Jeff came across the perfect BFF for him – a miniature horse named T-Rex. Soon there was a new boss in town. You will hardly ever see one without the other.
Buck
Buck was adopted from 12 Hills Dog Rescue in Nebraska in hopes he would wrangle T-Bone (he must have been quite the jerk) and “chew up irrigation tape.” Named after the author of “The Good Earth,” Jeff originally wanted to name him after his favorite character, Wang. After practicing yelling “Wang” in the fields, they quickly decided against it.
Atticus
The spawn of Owly, a Great Horned Owl that lived in the barn. Since owls are territorial, once Atticus was old enough to take care of himself, Owly took off to let him make The Good Earth home sweet home. As long as he’s killing the rodents, Nancy and Jeff are happy to have him.
Felix
You might catch Felix resting in the chicken coup and other random areas of the farm. Now living the life, Felix was rescued from the death chamber at SCRC by Cora Lee.
The Chickens
The newest barnyard animals are a hilarious element to The Good Earth. So far all of the chicken expressions and myths have been proven true. There were attempts to name the chickens after characters from “Downton Abbey,” but, alas, they wouldn’t hold still long enough… 605magazine.com | 41
the scoop Tenant rights by Taylor Reaves
As the economy took a turn for the worst, the move to housing rentals began to surge. Yet, apart from escaping the mortgage and yard work that come with owning a home, many tenants remain unaware of their renting rights, and consequently, many landlords are just the same. However, in today’s day and age, the rights of a tenant and/or a landlord can no longer be afforded to remain in life’s list of daily misconceptions. Rent: While the landlord is allowed to raise the rent or change other conditions at the time that the rent is due, so long as the tenant has a 30 day notice, the tenant may refuse to agree with the change and choose to move from his or her current rental unit before the changes take effect. However, the tenant must give notice to his or her landlord 15 days prior to the implementation of the upcoming change. Inspection: While most tenants are aware that they are not to pay the rent before a lease is signed and that changes needed to be made in the rental space are to be asked and then carried out pre-signature time as well, many tenants and landlords are unaware that the tenant is not responsible for ordinary wear and tear to the rental unit. Thus, an inspection of the rental unit with both the tenant and landlord to make a list of damages that have already been made to the rental unit is highly recommended, such as spots or marks on the carpet or walls or broken windows or appliances. For both the protection of the tenant and the landlord, both parties should sign the inspection paper and each keep a copy, should a later situation arise concerning the cause of damage. Essential Services: A landlord is responsible for keeping the rental unit in reasonable repair, including keeping all electrical plumbing and heating systems in good, safe, working order and is fit for the tenant. Furthermore, these essential services, such as electricity, gas, or water cannot
42 | July 2012
be cut off by the landlord at any time. According to South Dakota law, if the situation does occur, the tenant is allowed to sue the landlord for three times amount of the tenant’s damages, an amount equal to two month’s rent, the rent that tenant has already paid, and the security deposit established at the beginning of the lease. Security Deposit: Under South Dakota law, when the tenant moves out, the landlord must return the security deposit or send a written statement as to why the deposit is not returned, and this refund or statement must be sent within two weeks after the tenant has moved out. A landlord may keep a deposit only to cover unpaid rent or to return the rental unit to the previous state, but costs to ordinary wear and tear cannot be included in the money the landlord may keep. The tenant may demand a list of how the deposit money was spent, which in turn, needs to be delivered no later than 45 days after moving out. Failure to return the deposit or extending beyond the written statement timelines will, by law, result in a $200 dollar fine to the landlord.
Abandoned Property: While property having a total value of less than $500 dollars abandoned by the tenant after 10 days of moving from the rental unit may by law be disposed of by the landlord, property with a value of over $500 dollars must be stored by the landlord for 30 days before the landlord may treat the property as abandoned and dispose of it. However, if the tenant was to claim his or her property within the time range, the previous landlord can make the tenant pay for the handling and storage costs of keeping your possessions. Nevertheless, a landlord cannot hold the property for payment of back rent or damages to the property. All in all, a tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment, and a landlord has the right to reasonable inspection. Fair housing is a right, and any failure to provide these housing rights may constitute unlawful discrimination. For more information on consumer rights, contact the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office at (605) 773-3215or the South Dakota Housing and Urban Development Office at (605) 330-4223.

the real deal Hannah and nick Call Age: 24 & 29 | Hometown: Brookings & Aberdeen. | Specialty: Portrait/Japanese Traditional Tattoos
It’s not every day you meet someone who is living their ultimate goal, let alone someone who has attained it in their 20s. Nick and Hannah Call, who have been married for four and a half years, had been talking about opening a business together for a long time. To follow suit with larger cities, Nick wanted to combine his tattoo business, Permanent Addictions Tattoo & Piercing Studio, with his wife’s cosmetology skills. After many conversations and the utmost patience, the new Permanent Addictions Tattoo & Hair is open for business and is hosting a grand opening event July 7 at their new location in the Empire Mall. With a unique atmosphere that opens the doors for more walk-ins (pun intended), the couple is nothing short of thrilled to see where their tattoo and piercing/salon will go. How did you two meet? Hannah: We met at his shop, actually, when it was on Minnesota [Avenue]. Where did the combo business concept stem from? Hannah: I think we just wanted to do something different. A lot of big cities have this… Nick: I’ve been planning something like this actual move for quite some time. I always kind of laid it out for us to have a shop together because both of our industries go hand in hand really well. Why the Empire Mall for a new location? Nick: Even if someone walks by, if the thought has ever gone through their head, they’re going to be more apt to stop at this shop than they would almost any shop. Hannah: I think the craziest thing so far that I’ve seen so far is a Muslim lady coming in full-dress, wanting to get tattooed. That just goes to show that she could have gone to any shop in town but probably wouldn’t have walked in if it was somewhere like on Minnesota Avenue. Tell me about the salon side of things. Hannah: For hair I feel like, especially a lot of younger people that want something trendy like pink or blue in their hair, they’re not sure where to go. This is a place where they know they’ll get something different; they’re not going to just get a Jennifer Aniston haircut. They’ll be able to feel really confident that when they come here we’ll be able to do something different.
44 | July 2012
Do you have traditional clients as well? Hannah: Definitely. I just had my mom in here, and she’s a very conservative lady. She does get what I call the Jennifer Aniston, and I can do the basics as well. What is your background with Permanent Addictions? Nick: I’ve worked really hard. I’ve been tattooing for 11 years and I’ve owned my own business for 10. I do a lot of more of larger, elaborate tattoos – people come to me specifically for that stuff. I’m not a street-orientated shop. We’d rather give somebody something that is for them, not something that 50-60 people already have. Everything we do is completely custom. [With the mall location], we’re basically trying to open people’s eyes to the fact that tattooing shouldn’t have to be the typical right wing, conservative stereotype that we’re all criminals and bikers, you know what I mean? We’re pro-

fessional in what we do. On the tattoo side of it, we just wanted to create a more professional atmosphere to people and I guess make it a little more socially acceptable. How is it working together with your spouse so far? Hannah: I actually wasn’t sure what to expect and was worried we’d get into fights, but we really never see each other except for the occasional break. We definitely see each other more, but we’re not attached at the hip because we’re doing our own thing. Nick: I think it’s better because when she used to call me at work I’d be busy and feel bad because I couldn’t talk. It’s really nice. I think it’s actually made us closer. Hannah: It’s been better because I’m happier now that I’m not working somewhere that I feel is holding me back or is giving me unfair treatment, so in general I’ve just been happier. It’s really spilled over into the family time. Anything you want to add? Hannah: We really are a family shop, and even though many of us look alternative, we really want people to come in here and feel comfortable. We’re not looking down on anyone because they look ‘normal’ or they’re younger. The thing they can expect is a welcoming environment. Nick: This was an almost unattainable move that I’ve been dreaming about. The most exciting thing is seeing something unwrap in front of you that seemed like a pipe dream. Us moving here is the philosophy that you can do whatever you put your mind to. For more info on Permanent Addictions, find them on Facebook or visit www.PermanentAddictions.com.

mommy mind TRIP Susan is a busy mom of two children. She doesn’t think you should take anything she writes as advice, and highly suggests that you don’t follow her parenting practices.
Local rocker (of Amos Slade) and new father Phil Mueller summed it up well: “Parenting doesn’t suck”. Agreed, Phil, parenting most certainly does not suck. However, parenting does come with its fair share of surprises. The Sioux Falls native and his wife, Tara, impart some of their biggest revelations since becoming parents to their one-year-old son, Milo. We’ve cleaned up more body fluid than we ever dreamed possible. Tara was shocked by the sheer amount of baby gushing. “When Milo was just a few weeks old he was constantly finding a way to pee on me. One day when I was nursing him, I felt a warm wetness on my shirt. It was like it didn’t matter that he was wearing a diaper. When I picked him up to go change him, he immediately spit up everything I just fed him. Then when he when he was on the changing table he was making his ‘poop face’ and he didn’t have on his diaper . I instinctively moved my hand to catch it.” Just in case you missed that: she caught his poop. In. Her. Hand. “I thought, ‘I would never do this for anyone else.’ Moms certainly go to crazy lengths for their kids. Pee, puke and poop on me in a matter of minutes!” His crying doesn’t make us crazy. Phil was surprised by his high tolerance for Milo’s cries. “When I used to go to restaurants, I’d see other people’s kids screaming, and I’d wish their kid would stop. But Milo can scream right in my face and it doesn’t bother me.” While Milo’s cries don’t phase him, he is annoyed by over sharing parents. Phil’s limit is three Facebook childy posts per day before he strongly considers deleting folks from his cyber life. Three seems to be a generous number. Parents, please consider the fact that nobody but you thinks your
child is all that interesting and delete the status you’re writing about his/her slobber, boogers, and/or poop. Nobody wants to read that, especially more than three times per day. Our friendships changed, but the important people stuck around. The Mueller’s social life has altered since having a child, but they’ve rolled with the changes. “We’ve become homebodies.” Phil plans his band practice around Milo’s sleep schedule. “My bandmates are really understanding when it comes to scheduling.” Tara adds that she’s become more deliberate in planning time with her friends and they have a great support system in friends and family, especially Tara’s sister and mom. Their friendships may look differently than they did pre-Milo, but the people who cared about them before still care about them now. We still have our own dreams. Tara admittedly spends more time at home with Milo, and does so with an air of support for her drummer hubby. “I don’t want to be a dream squasher. I know if I have something I care about and want to do outside of our home and family someday, Phil will be just as supportive as I have been.” Phil appreciates Tara’s devotion to their family. “She’s made a smooth transition to parenting. She’s really good at it; she’s on top of it.” These two make it look easy. Phil and Tara have obviously changed since becoming parents. Schedules, routines, activities, many things will never be the same. They (and probably most parents) agree that it’s all worth the effort. Tara did some gushing of her own: “You’re never prepared enough to be a parent. You just have to jump in. On paper it looks like you’re never going to afford it. But it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s pretty awesome.”
BIO: Susan has worked with new parents and babies for several years. She has a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Northern Iowa. She likes punk music, eating food that other people cook, and making her husband and two kids laugh with her silly antics.

ask THE JOHNS Yes, all three of these guys are named John. Yes, it was a popular name in the ’80s (I’m sure you feel their pain all you Katies, Michaels and Jessicas). But these three gentlemen, when not attending Sogen Con at the Convention Center July 20-22, are here to answer every question you throw at them. They’re suave, sort of hip, and are here for you. The identity of these three amigos has been altered to protect the innocent.
1.) I have a friend who is really needy, always commenting on my Facebook posts asking to tag along when I write on someone’s wall or making comments if I’m not talking about her in my statuses. How can I, or should I, address this with her that she should tone it down? -Needy Friend? JR: Hmm, not sure the answer to this one. I’m still a devout MySpace member and no one has bothered me there since 2002. JW: Ugh, the needy Facebook stalker is someone we all deal with from time to time. I think you should be delicate about this and delete everything she writes. Or write below her comments with an up arrow and the word NOT. JT: I’m no expert when it comes to Facebook, but I’m pretty sure you can go to your privacy settings and block specific information from being seen by certain friends. By no means will that completely stop their creeping, but it may give them a subtle hint that you want them to stop. 2.) My roommate is dating someone who is really nice. The only problem is, they hook up in the living room and/or other open areas of the apartment. I’ve walked in on them after work or during normal hours of the day. This is not normal, no? -Damaged Eyes JR: Next time you walk in on them just say, “I thought you would never ask,” take off your shirt, and go in for a three-
way kiss. Problem solved. JW: Two words: Live webcam. Oh wait, one more: Lysol. JT: You have to have an honest conversation with them and let them know how you feel. Tell them that it makes you uncomfortable when you walk in on them and that you would appreciate it if they could hook up in private, like their own room. 3.) I get along with the girl sitting next to me at work really well. That’s the issue. Half the time I realize 45 minutes have gone by and I’m behind on my work. How can I politely tell her to stop distracting me without losing a connection? -Mike JR: Are you interested in this girl? If so, say, “Although I’m enjoying our conversation, I have a lot of work to get done. How about we head down to Bucks after work and continue our conversation there?” JW: Do you like getting paid? Good. Tell her to hang out after work with you or neither of you will be able to afford dinner when you get fired. JT: Next time she starts small talk with you tell her that you’re really behind on your work but you want to catch up with her over lunch. If she wont stop chit chatting with you, then you need to be assertive and polite and tell her you don’t have time to talk right now. If all else fails, ask your boss to be moved to another part of the office.
Disclaimer: Ask the Johns is a sarcastic piece. Their advice is not meant to be taken literally… except maybe John T’s.

health Grocery Store Madness by Andrea Cota
A healthy lifestyle goes hand in hand with a well-balanced diet, which begins with smart grocery shopping. Now, the grocery store can be more overwhelming than the information contained here, but this is a great place to start, especially if eating healthy is new to you. The grocery store is a huge place full of misleading labels, but here are a few key guidelines to help you shop smart. Most importantly, shop the perimeter of the store. The perimeter is where you’ll find the fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and low fat dairy products, all of which are the foundation of a wellbalanced diet. Green- GO! These sections are mostly a free-for-all (with some loose guidelines). Yellow- Proceed with caution, following a few simple guidelines. Red- Be sure you’re armed with good information to make the better choice. PRODUCE: What to Look For: Vegetables – The greens should be your first choice when looking for vegetables, such as broccoli, asparagus, spinach, green beans, and kale. Your second choice should be red and orange, such as red peppers and carrots. Vegetables should be incorporated at every meal to receive their vital nutrients. You can never have too many vegetables. Fruit – Berries are full of antioxidants and a variety of nutrients, making them the best choice when picking out fruit. The second best would be citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit, followed by bananas and melons. Bananas and melons are third on the list because of their high glycemic index, meaning they raise your blood glucose (sugar) levels more than berries. Sweet Potatoes- These are a better choice due to the lower glycemic index, compared to white. Just like berries are a better choice over melons, sweet potatoes are a better choice over white potatoes. Add a little flavor with cinnamon, but please do not cover the sweet potatoes with marshmallows! What to Avoid: You really can’t go wrong in the produce department because fruits and vegetables are going to be better than any other options. For example, even though berries are preferred over bananas, if you’re making a decision between a banana and a granola bar for a snack, the banana is clearly the better option. To start, shoot for five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
60 | July 2012
MEAT COUNTER: What to Look For: Chicken- This is going to be one of your best options when looking for a lean meat, but be sure you’re eating the white meat. Grill it or bake it and please do not cover it with a bunch of breading! Loin=Lean- Look for the word loin, because it is one of the leanest cuts of meat. Pork loin, sirloin and tenderloin are all better choices. Lean red meats in moderation provide a great source of protein, b-vitamins, iron, and zinc, which help to provide energy and a healthy nervous system. What to Avoid: Red Meat- You do not need to completely avoid this one because of the benefits stated above, but it is highly recommended to limit your intake of red meat to two times per week. Pre-Seasoned Meats- The mesquite barbecue pork loin and sun dried tomato chicken breasts always look delicious, but get creative with your meats and spice ‘em up in your own kitchen. Pre-seasoned meats are typically high in sodium, so when you spice it up yourself, you control what goes on it and therefore, what goes in your body. Anything Breaded or Bacon Wrapped- Added extras like this are trouble because you end up consuming “empty calories.” Buy meats in their natural state and add your own seasonings.
DAIRY: What to Look For: Low-Fat Dairy- Low-fat is preferred over fat-free because fatfree is typically higher in sugar than low-fat. When something is completely removed (fat), then something must take the place of that item (sugar). Look for 1 percent cottage cheese, low-fat cheese and yogurt, and low fat milk. What to Avoid: Fat-Free- Fat gives food flavor, so when it is removed, sugar must be added to keep the flavor. THE MIDDLE AISLES: This is the toughest part of the grocery store to maneuver. I could go on for days about what is bad, good, the worst choice, the somewhat better choice, and why, but I’ll save that for another time. So, without going into a completely separate discussion on how to read a food label, here are the key things to look for and the top-two words to avoid. What to Look For: Frozen Fruit & Vegetables- Frozen is a great alternative to fresh because it retains the nutrients. Frozen berries go great in smoothies and oatmeal, while frozen vegetables are convenient and nutritious. Natural Nuts- Almonds, pistachios, and cashews are a great mid-day snack and provide Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, but avoid the seasoned nuts. Oatmeal- In this order: steal cut, old fashioned, and quick oats are great options for breakfast. Steal cut oats are the least processed, with quick oats being the most processed. Avoid the pre-packaged oatmeal that tend to be loaded with sugar. Instead, add frozen blueberries, strawberries, cinnamon, or natural peanut butter to flavor your oats. Whole Grains- When buying bread, these are key word and should be listed first. If it is not listed first, put the bread back on the shelf. Quinoa, brown rice and whole grain pasta are other better choices to balance your diet with complex carbohydrates. What two Words to Avoid: “Enriched” and “Refined”- When looking at anything in the middle aisles, cereals, breads, granola bars, frozen meals, and pastas, turn the package over and look straight at the ingredients list. If you see “enriched” or “refined,” put it back on the shelf. Following these two words you’ll likely find “sugar.” Real whole grains are loaded with fiber, which has a variety of healthy benefits. Fiber is the key to a healthy digestive system and can also help lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease. Happy Shopping!

health The Ultimate New League “It’s a great summer activity,” said Sanford Health employee and ultimate enthusiast Shane Pederson. “It’s just a good way to meet some new people and have a lot of fun.“ Originally called ultimate frisbee, the sport that is common on college campuses is now referred to as “ultimate” in many areas due to the Frisbee trademark. While it’s simple to sign up for recreational soccer, softball or volleyball to bond with friends or for a workout, there hasn’t been a true ultimate league – until now. “I met a group that plays at McKennan Park on Mondays, and it seemed people kept saying, ‘I wish we had a league,’” said Ryan Cwach,, who started the newly formed league South Dakota Ultimate with friends Evan Lundall and Michael Terpstra. Luckily Cwach is an attorney when he’s not throwing disc and wanted to use this opportunity to practice his skills to create a non-profit. “We’re still in the process of getting all the tax stuff figured out.,” said Cwach. “There’s a national organization called Ultimate Players Association and we got approval from them, so they’re kind of the sponsors of the league.” The group that currently meets every Monday at McKennan Park and every Thursday at Riverdale Park will officially become South Dakota Ultimate and kick off the very first season July 12. “We’re going to go with a little bit of a shortened season

because we got a late start, but it’s going to run five games,” explained Lundall, who also works at Sanford Health. “The first four [games] are going to be pool plays where you play two games a night, and the fifth will be a ‘winner take all’ tournament.” The games will go 6-8 p.m. at Riverdale Park, which will become the main location for the league. “The city has been really great. They haven’t really required much of us,” said Cwach of the usage of the public park and other support. People like Pederson are looking forward to the official league starting and thinks there is a need for it. “I started showing up every Monday and you could tell the group was getting larger and larger every week to the point where there are two fields we play on now,” he said. Emily Thorton loves getting the workout during her break from medical school and has improved her 5K time by two minutes from the cardio ultimate provides. “I’m more of a distance runner, so this is good to work on my speed,” said Thorton. “I think last year it helped push me enough to realize I could run faster for longer than I thought I could.” The object of the fast-paced game is to score points by
passing a disc to a player in the opposing end zone, similar to football. “It’s a mixture of what I think of the best elements of football and soccer,” said Cwach. “You have end zones so there’s high scoring, and there’s a lot of running and movement like soccer and a soccer strategic element to it. The game is always moving.” Ideally the group hopes to get four teams with around 50 people for the first season. Go to www.SouthDakotaUltimate. com to register. Registration is $25, and you must fill out a survey to enter. Each person who joins will receive a free disc. Even if someone finds out later in the summer and is interested, Cwach said they will make sure they get them in the league. “We’ll take it throughout the whole season. If it’s in the middle of July and you just find out about it and want to join we’ll find a way,” said Cwach. “We really want everyone to come out and experience it.”
